The UK Trauma Group is a managed clinical network of UK Traumatic Stress Clinical Services, chaired by Dr Chris Freeman of the Rivers Centre, Royal Edinburgh Hospital, Edinburgh. It was founded in 1996 by Dr Stuart Turner and currently has a half day meeting twice a year at St Bartholomews Hospital in London.

Membership of the UK Trauma Group is open to any Clinical Service in the UK which meets the following criteria:

1. There is a multi disciplinary clinical and/or research group focused on some area of traumatic stress/psychotrauma.
2. The service adheres to evidence based practice.
